The building has undergone earthquake strengthening and been extended and refurbished.

About a dozen people protesting against the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) trade deal chanted outside as Mr Key made a speech inside the hall, and as a local school kapa haka group performed.
